Mr Varadkar will remain Taoiseach in a caretaker capacity until a new premier is voted in by Irish parliamentarians.
Leo Varadkar has said he has “no regrets” about standing down, as he officially resigned as Ireland’s premier.
Mr Higgins is understood to have greeted Mr Varadkar in the president’s study, where a letter of resignation was handed to the secretary general of the Irish president. He shocked the country when he announced three weeks ago that he was resigning as Fine Gael leader immediately, and would stand down as Taoiseach once his successor had been appointed.
“Today feels pretty good. It was a difficult decision to make that I oscillated on on a few occasions,” he said.
